Oceanfront Security from AquaVault

We’ve all done it before — the summer ritual when you find a spot on the beach, sneak a look right and left and stash your wallet in a shoe, in full view of everyone on the beach. They’ve all done the same exact thing as well.

Unfortunately for the thieves who have caught on to the shoe trick, AquaVault is an innovative solution to this common conundrum. Made famous by an appearance on Shark Tank, this locking safe is made to clip on most beach furniture, locking your valuables and anchoring them from theft. The device can also be used on golf carts, tables, bikes, beach umbrellas — anything with something sturdy that can fit in AquaVault’s locking mechanism.

The safe is made out of high-impact ABS thermoplastic, so it’s not going to break off whatever it’s clamped on to. Of course, there is the risk thieves can just carry the chair/table it’s clamped to, so try to find something heavy that can’t be taken surreptitiously. The three-digit combination lock is reprogrammable, and with 120 square inches of space, there’s plenty of room for phones, wallets, keys, sunglasses and more.

ONCE THE FINAL MEETING WRAPS and the last contract is signed and sealed with a handshake, what’s next? Do you catch a flight back home or do you take advantage of the destination? If your next business trip is to Italy, we suggest adding a few more days to explore the country’s most amazing hot spots. Make time for more than a mouthwater- ing Italian meal in these three cities.

As airlines start nickel and dime-ing their way into the world’s wallets, travelers have had to get crafty in order to get around newly enacted add-on fees, especially when it comes to in-flight meals. Since this luxury is no longer guaranteed on some flights, particularly on low-cost, long-haul vessels, and because airport food is notoriously overpriced, passengers pack their own food to bring on these long flights. But what types of food are allowed to pass through security and also last multiple hours on a plane in varying temperatures?

I lived in San Francisco during college so coming to visit the city and see all the changes was exciting. The Hotel Zeppelin was built in a once slightly shabby area that has since come alive with new hotels and restaurants for travelers looking for something different. We arrived at noon on a Friday afternoon and were immediately greeted by the hotel staff at the front desk. They were able to accommodate an early check-in, completed in just a few minutes. The lobby is as hip as the hotel name sounds, but it also offered a cozy atmosphere, with a roaring fire and comfy couches and chairs in the lounge area. Unique wall art, statues and lighting remind you of the cool factor.
